I want to field an army of Savage Orcs, but it's hard since all the models are metal(and thus expensive) Does anyone agree?

Yeah, I agree. I'd love to see them do plastics for the Savage Orcs and Boar Boyz. They are far too expensive to buy in any real quantity.

I'd like to see them do plastic Forest Goblins as well, but I doubt we will see those unless they are brought back in 8th edition.

Yeah, but I'd like to see other Forest Goblins done too. There was a time when there were plain old Forest Goblins w/bows, Forest Goblins w/spears, Forest Goblins w/hand weapons, Forest Goblin Shamans & Forest Goblin Warbosses. Much like the current Night Goblins, there were enough options to build an army around the theme if you wanted to.

What about conventions? you could probably make Savage Orc Boyz just as easily.


Edit/Added:

I came a cross this....

there is quit a bit on this site, a few more Conversion Ideas and what not.
might be worth a look for an O&G player.

Yeah, I've considered doing something like that for a while now, but I cant really find the ambition to do it yet. Maybe some day!

wow thats an exspensive unit, my advice if you run big uns to drop the unit to 18 and run then 6x3. Dont forget to post your orc lord build on t he other thread.
